Stop and Snap

Here is a selection of Portuguese bill posters that I photographed last year on the streets of Porto. I’ve no idea what they are promoting, but I liked them. All utilise illustration and are so colourful and eye-catching. Quite a different style to the majority one sees here in Melbourne.

I remember one day in Porto when a particular poster caught my eye in passing. I was in a hurry and didn’t have time to photograph it then, and thought I would come later or the next day. But when I returned it had already been plastered over, alas. I was quite annoyed. Always take the time to stop and snap on the spot, I say.
